"I wore Chacos and Birkenstocks most of my young adult life when I did a lot of traveling. We would walk for miles every day. I finally saw a podiatrist about my feet going numb after walking short distances, and they suggested Hokas. My feet are wide enough that women’s shoes don’t typically fit, even wide sizes, and the men’s wides fit perfectly. I’ve never had a shoe feel like a cloud and still give me the support I need!" she said.
Note: The Hoka Clifton 8 is low on inventory, but the Clifton 9 is similar in style and in stock in women's and men's sizes at Zappos.
They come in multiple strap colors, including black, gray, blue and purple/pink in women's sizes 6-11.
Promising review: “I was looking for comfortable walking shoes for a trip this summer. I was blown away by how comfortable these shoes really are. It is like walking on clouds. I intended to wear them a couple of times to break them in but I've practically worn them every day since they were delivered. Breaking them in was so easy as well. No blisters at all! You do need to use the heel strap to get them on but doing so became easier each time. I really love these shoes.” — Clauders
